Jackie Robinson's last stand: to see blacks break into MLB managerial ranks

It's really not funny. Jackie is being hailed as a national hero and a black icon for leaving a black run league (because they told him to be submissive to white people's racism) to join a white one that only wanted him to get black people to spend money with them (Branch Rickey said as much).

Is this your king?

Jackie Robinson helped usher in the end of the Negro Leagues and then he begged for black coaches for the white-run MLB? SMH.

And sadly that’s a legacy we’ve kept intact. We’re still out here not building, not supporting our own, standing by while our businesses are shut down, but steady complaining and begging for more jobs from white people.

I know. Rube Foster, who founded the Negro Leagues, was also a great manager and MLB teams used take his strategical ideas and use them while giving him no credit.

But Jackie demanded there be black managers in a place that did not value black people.
